WEATHERFoRD, Tex, Feb. 21.-The ell
gineering corps of the Santa Fe is still
running lines through the city. They
have run one line on the east side of the
city, having commenced eight miles north
west and continued the line south five
miles, and are now engaged running
another line on the west side of the city.
1t was suggested to-day that the Santa
Fe would make this headquarters for the
entire system, Judging from the number
of lines they are running through the
city.
The change in the schedule of the
Texas and Pacific time table, as published
in to-day's GAZETTE, works great dis
advantage to our city, only giving US one
train daily, and on such time as TO teRe
two nights and day to 90 to Fort Worth
to attend to ten minutes business. A
strong petition will be sent the manage
ment asking them to extend the short
train to this place, as turntable Is to be
situated here and it would be very little
expense to the company to extend the
run this far. This place will average
thirty to forty passengers daily and ought
to have some little consideration.

AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 2l.-Readers OF
TIE GAZETTE have not forgotten the ter,
rible servant girl murders which extend
ed throughout the yesr 1885 and resulted
ia the killing of seven or eight women,
two Of them white married women, MUIR
deTS that, with one exception, still remain
fearful and profound mystery. II will
be remembered that to ferret out the in
famous devils who perpetrated these
dreadful assassinatlons the City Council
OF Austin and the people of Austin fur
nlshed many thousands Of dollars to solve
the bloody problem, hut without sue
cess. The Evening Call contains
communication this evening from .itizaIs
charging that whereas Mayor Robertson
of Austin in g communication to the City
Council last May stated that he had ap-
Piled to the Pinkertons for detectives and
over four thousand dollars had been eX-
pended on detectives. but thSt PihkertOp
denies having had any business whatever
with theMayOr of Austin. letter from
W. A. Pinkerton himself is published this
evening, dated Chicago, the 18th inst,
saying he had not been employed 10 work
up the Austin murder cases. The writer
in the Call then inquiries what became OF
the four thousand collars.
Alderman Anderson, u prominent men,
Der OF the City Council tonight denied
there was anything crooked, and that
the detectives were here. The Mayors
friends claim lie can show the vouchers
and explain the matter. HIS friends have
thorough confidence in his honesty and
integrity.
Later At : meeting of the City
CounciI tonight the Mayor made
statement fully generating him
self from the insinuations by the
writer in tn Call. He said immedi-
stely after the murder of Mrs Eula
Phillips and Mrs. Hancock ne had tele-
graphed the Pinkerton agency. They
first sent one detective to Austin. Two
days later two more arrived and the third
and fourth few days afterwards. These
PinkertOn detectives remained in Austin
the servant girl murders till
the middle of Msrch, eighty-siX days,
during which time he paid out $500. |
Mayor Robertson showed receipts from
Matt W. PlnkertOn that he had expended
the $1,000 in detective service, whereupon
the Council unanimously passed resolu-
ton fully and honOrably generating
Mayor Robertson from any suspicion
whatever. The charge arose from the
fact that there are two Pinkerton agen-
cies. The Mayor denounced the Call and J
the writer of the article.

HOUSTON, TEX, Feb. 21.-CoIonel
U. Lott, president. and B. f.

city to-day en- route to Chicago While
here they met W. d Cleveland, president
of the Houston Cotton Exchange and

j. C. HUtcheson, leading capitalists of the
city, and discussed with them matters
pertaining to the extension of the road to
Houston from Eagle Lake, the present pro-
posed terminus of the road. After long
conference regarding the advantage and
facilities for building the line and the
inducement that would probably be
offered by the city of Houston it was
finally understood that the extension will
be built.
Messrs. Lott and Yoakum left via the
Missouri Pacific train for Chicago on the
evening train. They will return in about
ten days, when more definite action will

"a ogUNK OF IGNORANCE
WHAT THE PARIS NEWS KNOWS ABOUT
THE FRISCO.

WHAT THE PARIS NEWS KNOWS ABOUT
THE FRISCO.
The hired man who neaves out the con-
Gensed chunks of ignorance for the rail
road column of the Fort Worth GAZETTE
probably knows less about the matter
than shoat does about the dead Ian
guages. Here is q specimen of his en-
larged gall:
The Houston aud Texas Central being
in the hands of receivers cannot con-
struct new roads at present, but Mr. 6.
Huntington as large interest holder in
the Frisco can bring that line to con-
nection with the Central, and that he
seems to be dong at present. Engineers
are in the field running line from Rob
erts to Paris, and when that is done the
same engineers will probably run the
line from Arthur City to Fort Worth ID q
the Fort Worth and New Orleans.
At Fort Worth the Frisco will obtain
magnificent connections, the finest in
Texas, end Mr.. Huntington road the
outlets needed. Huntington, CroCker
and Stanford, these three are interested
in the development of Fort Worth, ans
their era of railroad construction in Texas
will now begin. The Frisco line to For
Worth will, of course, be the main line,
while Dsllas will be reached over the Cen
trail from the junction point, and the other
cities of the state by the lines from Rob-
erts and Fort Worth.
1t would be safe in the first place to
bet that THE GAZETTE writer don't know
where Arthur City is, and in the second
place thst the Frisco is not fool enough
to build road into Southeast Texas
sround by Fort Worth. 1t looks as If
jealousy of Paris Inspires the msjority of
the recent sssinine utterances of THE
GAZETTE in regard to connection with
the Frisco. If the people of Fort Worth
really want "a connection with
the Frisco, they will build line to Paris.
the terminus of the road and nearer the
Fort. The Houston and Texas Central
will be extended during the coming sum-
mer from Roberts to Paris, and that will

Care of the Feet.

A few drops of extract of white oak
bark in the morning foot bath, with a
pinch of boracic acid, will go far to
harden the feet and bathing at bed
time with pure alcohol will quickly re-
move soreness. But shoes must be
looked to. Corns and bunions come
from friction and unequal pressure;
and it should be known that shoes
loose enough to permit the foot to
slide about in them are even more
likely than tight ones to produce these
troublesome growths. Shoes should
fit exactly; desideratum more easily
found when they are made after the
anatomical pattern than any other
way. They should be quite heavy.
Very light boots are good enough to
dance in, but for every other purpose
the soles should be thick enough to
protect the feet from small stones or
accidental blows. Heavy shoes seem
tiresome to walk in at first but after a
few days the feeling of comfort and
security that comes with wearing them
is so great that they are rarely given
